“The Yoga Teacher Training with Albina & Roger has completely changed my life.

This training has shown me how to apply the skills and philosophy of yoga while moving through the world, and has also taught me how to step into my true self.

I have gained invaluable insight into the true magic of how I am connected to the universe and how we are all connected to one another.”

– Brandi Henley

“I have benefited so much from Roger and Albina’s authenticity, vulnerability, and knowledge. My yoga practice has improved. My understanding of my own body and mind has deepened. My perspective has expanded.

I came to this Yoga Teacher Training riddled with anxiety about my future and the future of the world as I watched Covid19 tear across the globe.

Albina and Roger’s focus on personal growth has helped learn how to see possibility where I once only saw hopelessness.”

-Annilee Newton

“When I did my first 200 hour teacher training in 2013 with Roger and Albina, it changed my life. I shouldn’t have expected anything less from this training.

I signed up for this training to simply learn how to guide my students through meditation but I gained so much more than I expected. This training helped me identify blocks that have held me back my entire life, lit up curiosity and creativity, and left me feeling excited about my life!

I am so very grateful for Roger and Albina’s guidance and look forward to learning even more.”

-Amelia Loftin
